12 of 12: May
I was a 12 of 12 slacker today, hardly took any pictures for most of the day. I'm not going to link these to Chad's blog, I'd rather they didn't have so much exposure and I didn't take pictures all day anyway! But here's my pseudo 12 of 12 for you guys to enjoy :)

3pm: My new external hard drive. Not really a back up since I'll be deleting the things I put on it from my main computer, but maybe now it won't take 3 minutes to crop a photo!


4pm: Afternoon snack. Chocolate milk and cheese and crackers on a Sesame Street placemat. Life is good.

6:15pm: Happy birthday Xan!! Hope you're having an awesome day!

6:40pm: Watering can in a playhouse. I just liked it!

6:45pm: Here we go. Some actual real person pics from me! Here's C, doin' what she does best... Silly!

7pm: We went to the park and found all kinds of treasures left behind today. Like these stylin' sunglasses. S was very sad that we couldn't keep them.

7pm: Purple turtle.

7:15pm: Inspector A. I love this one!

7:30pm: Colour is weird on this, and I was sliding backwards down the slide as I took it, but I love the look on her face...

7:40pm: C being pensive on her bike.

7:45pm: Doll head!! Totally creepy. Luckily they didn't want to bring it home..

8:00pm: Climbing the web. Love her expression here.. She's a somewhat melancholy child, but when she smiles she really smiles!

8:15pm: Found some free strawberry plants and decided to take one each. We had to wheel them home on the scooter! (Click to make bigger)

If you have any specific CC, please offer it. I may post some of these on ILP, but probably not. But I'd love suggestions for improvement! Thanks for visiting guys.. I love you all!

Well i found each one very interesting and i enjoyed them. I think i like the Inspector best, reminds me of my kid, adn i really love teh shadows in that one!

Creepy doll head!

I thought of you all day with this 12 of the 12th, and I did not do it, but I will plan better next month, looks fun!

Lulu said...

Oh yes, do post some on ILP! They are brilliant.

You captured such wonderful expressions...I love them all, but the looking pensive one and the strawberry plants are my favourites. Can you send me a free strawberry plant? :P J/K!

I also thought of you all day and didn't really do it, maybe I can do it a day late. BTW you have such dainty little hands...adorable! :)

Lulu said...

P.S. Your snack looks so yummy! Off to have breakfast! :)

How fun! You're so great at documenting your day. I love the one where you were sliding backwards!

I have that My Book, it is great!

I love the inspector one too and the dolls head is too cool!

Jennifer said...

WOW, I love all of them, your views are so awesome and I love to always come back and see what you see each time, thank you for sharing your day with us, very cool!!:)

Stephanie said...

A doll head!! Life can't get more lively then that! :D Fantastic photos!

Rebekah said...

I love these! My favourites are the strawberry storyboard and the purple turtle. I completely forgot about the 12 of 12 again, and I was actually on a school field trip Saturday which would have been a good time to do it. Oh well, I'll try to remember next month!
Sorry I have been absent from commenting and so on lately... I've barely had a moment since the start of May! I will try to get around to all the blogs this week though. :)

Meghan said...

You are so dear. Thank you for the birthday wishes! I did my 12 of 12, but haven't had a chance to crop and post yet.

And, CC? Please. That's like me trying to help Tiger Woods be a better golfer. ;]

My favorite is 7:30. I, too, love the expression on her face.

Ellen said...

Thank you to all of you!!

Julie: I hope you do the 12 of 12 next month! Thanks for commenting :)

Lulu: Thanks girl! I think my strawberry plant already died, so you're out of luck lol. My hand aren't so dainty in real life, they're actually pretty gigantic! But thanks for saying that anyway! haha. And the snack was yummy. The cheese was English cheshire, I love it.

Thanks Melody! I'm glad to hear you have the mybook and like it, I haven't heard many first-hand opinions...

Thanks Lottie!

Thank you for visiting Jennifer! I love that I can always count on you for comments, you always say the right things :)

Jinksee (what's your real name? I feel terrible that I don't know lol): Thanks! Doll heads are the next big thing you know :)

Rebekah: Thanks! And don't apologize! I know you're busy... Where was the trip to? Hope it was fun.

Meghan: Get those posted, can't wait to see! Lol about Tiger Woods. You're makin me blush :p

Jenny: Thank you! I'm glad you visited!

Looks like you had fun...except for the doll head which really was creepy (lol!)!

Angie Penrose said...

Looks like such a fun day! My favs are the ones with the strawberry plants. How lucky are you, a doll head and strawberry plants all in the same day? :) Really great photos!

aboutimage said...

Well, you did better then I did on 12 of 12 this month. I totally flopped mine :( was busy with a wedding so I guess my excuse is ok but I thought I would still do both.

Anyway's, looks like a fun day for you. The doll head is a pretty funny pic -- I love it :)

Louisa said...

I keep seeing this 12 of 12 thing but I'm totally out of the loop. It looks like fun. I totally cracked up at the dolls head - it reminds me of what dolls looked like when I was little, they kept popping off! Also, love the free strawberry SB. Great images - cool idea to carry them on the scooter too.

Amy (3 Peas) said...

Great job!! I love the last one- the strawberry collage. :)

Christie said...

ellen, love your snack on the plate! LOLOL that doll head is a really cool shot. love the dof. my favorite is probably the strawberry storyboard. that is just so cute and funny.

i know i've asked you before but i can't find the post where i asked... do you nanny?

willowonthewater.com said...

I too love the strawberry collage. That needs to be printed...

I'm out of the 12 of 12 loop too... can someone explain?

The Purple Turtle is my favorite ;-) LOVE the perspective and the DOF. Wish I had some CC to offer, but I'm new at this, so maybe in a few months ;-) Also love the new tune. It's one of my favorites, especially when my husband strums it on the guitar ;-) I always look forward to checking your site, Ellen. Hope you're having a great week!
